How the game's economy fits together
Junk Mechanics has one main loop and several side systems that feed it. You buy a damaged car in a junkyard, raise its condition by repairing parts at Nando's and Tire Zone, polish and paint it at the customs shop, and sell it to a buyer. Juan buys anything; Mr. Lupin pays more but only for Tier 4 and 5; Rick buys instantly for less. The profit funds a better car, an extra garage, or performance parts from Car Zone.
Around that loop sit the luck-based systems: Cash auctions, premium auctions that need keys, junkyard rerolls, and since October 3, Cars & Bids, where players bid against each other. These can produce rare cars but are not reliable income; the game itself warns that auctions are not meant to be profitable. Performance systems (engines, turbos, superchargers, the tuning shop and wheel fitment) mostly matter for cars you keep rather than cars you flip.
Progress is measured by net worth, shown since September 5, which adds your Cash to the value of your cars. The higher junkyards added on September 20 display net worth figures on their signs, and their better rare-car odds are where most late-game money comes from.
